Luke 5:27-38

27

AfterG3326 this, Jesus went outG1831 andG2532 sawG2300 a tax collectorG5057 namedG3686 LeviG3018 sittingG2521 atG1909 theG3588 tax boothG5058. “FollowG190 MeG1473,” He toldG2036 himG846, 28andG2532 Levi got upG450, leftG2641 everythingG3956, and followedG190 HimG846.

29ThenG2532 LeviG3018 hostedG4160 a greatG3173 banquetG1403 forG846 Jesus atG1722 hisG846 houseG3614. A largeG4183 crowdG3793 of tax collectorsG5057 was thereG1510, along withG2532 othersG243 whoG3739 wereG1510 eatingG2621 withG3326 themG846. 30ButG2532 theG3588 PhariseesG5330 andG2532 theirG846 scribesG1122 complainedG1111 toG4314 Jesus’ disciplesG3101, “WhyG1223G5101 do you eatG2068 andG2532 drinkG4095 withG3326 tax collectorsG5057 andG2532 sinnersG268?”

31

JesusG2424 answeredG611G2036G4314G846, “It is notG3756 theG3588 healthyG5198 who needG5532 a doctorG2395, butG235 theG3588 sickG2560G2192. 32I have not comeG3756G2064 to callG2564 the righteousG1342, butG235 sinnersG268, toG1519 repentanceG3341.”

33ThenG1161 they saidG2036 toG4314 HimG846, “John’sG2491 disciplesG3101 andG3668G2532 thoseG3588 of theG3588 PhariseesG5330 frequentlyG4437 fastG3522 andG2532 prayG4160G1162, butG1161 YoursG4674 keep on eatingG2068 andG2532 drinkingG4095.”

34

JesusG2424 repliedG2036G4314G846, “Can youG3361G1410 makeG4160 theG3588 guestsG5207 of theG3588 bridegroomG3567 fastG3522 whileG1722G3739 He isG1510 withG3326 themG846? 35ButG1161 the timeG2250 will comeG2064 whenG3752 theG3588 bridegroomG3566 will be takenG522 fromG575 themG846; thenG5119G1722G1565G3588G2250 they will fastG3522.”

36

He also toldG2036G2532G4314 themG846 a parableG3850: “No oneG3762 tearsG4977 a piece of clothG1915 fromG575 a newG2537 garmentG2440 and sewsG1911 it onG1909 an oldG3820 one. If he doesG1487G1161G1490, he will tearG4977 theG3588 newG2537 garment as wellG2532, andG2532 the patchG1915 fromG575 theG3588 newG2537 will not matchG3756G4856 theG3588 oldG3820.

37AndG2532 no oneG3762 poursG906 newG3501 wineG3631 intoG1519 oldG3820 wineskinsG779. If he doesG1487G1161G1490, theG3588 newG3501 wineG3631 will burstG4486 theG3588 skinsG779, the wine will spillG1632, andG2532 theG3588 wineskinsG779 will be ruinedG622. 38InsteadG235, newG3501 wineG3631 is pouredG992 intoG1519 newG2537 wineskinsG779.
